No offense man, but who is complaining about it right now besides you? He's still going to grow. And haven't we learned that just because you're a big defensemen, doesn't mean you're going to be good.
These are later picks, we're not going to see them for a while. |

I'm glad Botterill isn't overpaying for players like Schenn and Hamonic.

I do see some other posts indicating it, perhaps I'm just shocked. I mean, let see what happens down the road.
Maybe the older I get I'm just less rattled by these things. Sports don't mean to me now what they used to. |

I dont think they are drafting shorter d-men to find a Ryan Ellis clone..
Cale Makar is the Ryan Ellis of this draft |

No problem with these choices by the Sabres. We might see Mittlestadt in a year or two, but the rest are years from contributing.
Botterill has a ton of work to do cleaning up the mess of the Darcy and GMTM regimes. Any short term remedies will come from making shrewd acquisitions like the Beaulieu trade.
There is no quick-fix unfortunately. This year will likely be about internal evaluation and getting a year closer to ridding ourselves of Ennis, Moulson, Bogo and Gorges.
I doubt we'll be a playoff team. |

Our scout in Sweden, who no doubt scouts Finland as well, must have thought highly of that 3rd round Finish D who was not on any draft charts and I have faith in his scouting. |
